There was plenty of space on the device so I tried again. No luck.

 Please run
df -h
 You storage can be split up into multiple partitions and if /boot is on
its own partition, this one might be full while the partition for /
still has enough space left.
 

Thanks for your comments Marco. I was thinking /boot was full at first. The image is a standard raspbian one with the default partitioning on a 8GB card and there's 4.4GB free. /boot is mounted on / and only /boot/firmware is a separate 512mb partition that's 85% free still.
Changing to MODULES=dep fixed it. I'm not sure where the out of space was occurring as the initrd images are now about 6.5MB and before nearer 10MB. There are 2 kernels and theres a v6, v7, v7l and v8 version which if you tot up all inird and kernel images is only 112MB so even if it was writing temporary files to /boot/firmware there would still be plenty of space.
Anyway I don't believe I'm the only Pi Zero user with an almost off-the-shelf Raspian image who has had this problem, hence the reason for posting.
